Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs is a yoga therapy course specifically designed for lower back pain. It’s a ground breaking course because of its attention to all aspects of back health and the in-depth research conducted on it, to look at the effect of this yoga course versus usual GP care (University of York and Versus Arthritis). This showed that Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs led to greater improvements in back function in a safe way. Follow up research showed that it reduced participant’s time off work and had a positive return on investment (ROI Public Health Englamd report here).

The course has been taught to many people to support all kinds of back conditions. It is gentle yoga and is suitable for people with additional health needs, such as fibromyalgia and fatigue conditions.

“I found the 'Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs' course life changing.

Your patient and caring teaching introduced me to yoga in a gentle and manageable way. The pearls of wisdom you shared with us in each class have been so valuable to me. I always felt good after our classes. And now, after 12 weeks of learning and practising I have a wonderful new habit that brings me so much more than a healthy lower back. I feel empowered. I no longer need painkillers and there is no need for an operation. I know what to do when my back even so much as thinks of having an episode. And I know it works because I have stopped episodes in their tracks. Thank you so very much. I have been recommending this course to everyone who I think it will help.” Kendall

“I was recommended to Barbara by a colleague and true to her recommendation I was not disappointed. The YHLB course was helpful to my situation and do-able as Barbara kept a close eye on each of us, tweaking exercises to individual circumstance. The course is well supported by a comprehensive book, aide memoirs and online support. But the real success is due to Barbara’s teaching style and support. A worthwhile investment.” Julie

“I can certainly recommend Barbara as an excellent teacher of Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs.” Jim

“It’s been preventative. I haven’t got really bad back issues but for me, I’ve now got the tools to prevent serious back issues arising.” Mandy
